​As part of London Climate Action Week, FSD Africa and Freshfields are convening a high-level, invitation-only roundtable designed to explore how blended finance can be facilitated at a practical level. This session brings together senior leaders from finance, investment and development to explore what structures and innovations can unlock capital at scale for climate resilience—particularly in frontier and emerging markets where people are most exposed to climate risks.
 
The event will focus on what it takes to move from theory to execution, with a particular emphasis on how to address undercapitalised but high-potential areas—such as nature-based solutions and high-integrity carbon markets.

​Why attend?

​This is a strategic opportunity for senior executives who are:

• ​Seeking to deploy or influence capital towards climate resilience with long-term value

• ​Exploring new ways to blend concessional, catalytic, and commercial capital to crowd in private investment

• ​Interested in shaping the next generation of carbon finance and market infrastructure, particularly in emerging markets

• ​Looking for actionable insights and connections to institutions actively structuring finance in frontier contexts.

​What sets this event apart?

​With a mandate to build resilient financial systems across Africa, FSD Africa brings on-the-ground expertise in developing carbon markets and designing blended capital solutions that shift risk and attract private investment. Combined with Freshfields’ global legal and structuring insight, the discussion will highlight real-world innovations and bankable opportunities—beyond pilots and into scalable impact. 

This is not a panel or presentation, but a closed-door, outcomes-oriented dialogue among decision-makers who have the authority—and urgency—to shape the future of finance for climate resilience.
